Chapter 1517: Solitary Individual, Exclaiming for Attention!
Snowflakes descended with a swirling grace, transforming the surroundings into a vision akin to an Immortal Realm.
During daylight hours, when leisure permitted, Ye Xuan would engage in playful banter with Li Tianhao, share moments of serene tea and chess with Elder Li, muse about life's intricacies, and playfully tease Li Xiyuan, who consistently maintained a dignified demeanor.
However, the nights were occupied.
This was largely due to Liu Ying's intoxicating allure. Even within the Li Family's ancestral manor, Liu Ying exhibited no restraint. Each night, she would draw Ye Xuan into the private villa provided by the Li Family, where they would passionately immerse themselves without reservation.
Consequently, Ye Xuan was left with no lingering sense of post-coital fatigue.
This nocturnal activity also left the nearby residents in a state of considerable exasperation and helplessness.
“What an eccentric!”
“So unrestrained, so brazen!”
“In the dead of night, can’t you allow others to sleep? While your activities are your own concern, vocalizing so loudly is utterly excessive, wouldn’t you agree?”
“The youth of today, truly lacking in self-control, never settling down. Can his body even sustain such endeavors?”
“…”
It remains unknown which impetuous young scion of the Li Family finally reached their limit and, seizing upon Ye Xuan and Liu Ying's engrossment, left a hastily scribbled note affixed to their door.
The message, penned with palpable resentment and frustration, bore a simple yet pointed declaration: “Solitary Individual, Pleading for Respite!”
That very night.
Ye Xuan and Liu Ying's rendezvous became even more fervent.
The subsequent morning saw numerous residents from the vicinity departing the Li Family estate, ostensibly seeking a change of scenery, and checking into various hotels across Yanzi City.
Ye Xuan and Liu Ying experienced a wave of embarrassment concerning the incident, yet felt no genuine remorse.
Who could have foreseen that the residences within the Li Family Manor possessed such inadequate soundproofing?
Moments of happiness invariably seem to vanish all too quickly.
In the blink of an eye, five days had elapsed.
The heavy snowfall finally subsided, yielding to the reemergence of the sun. Its gentle rays cascaded upon the land, causing the snow to gleam with a resplendent and breathtaking beauty.
Ye Xuan was enjoying tea with Elder Li, Li Xiyuan seated calmly beside them.
In contrast to their initial encounters, Li Xiyuan now appeared significantly more at ease in Ye Xuan's presence, occasionally allowing her delicate feet to brush against his, without the violently flustered reactions of the past.
Ye Xuan found himself questioning the conventional wisdom regarding affection developing over time.
Who decreed that the cultivation of affection necessitates prolonged periods? At times, apparent progress emerges swiftly, even without extended waiting or from the outset.
Naturally, Ye Xuan harbored no intentions of cultivating any deeper connection with Li Xiyuan; however, he experienced a degree of relief at the perceptible easing of the emotional tension between them.
After all, his ultimate aspiration was a world devoid of adversaries…
The trio were engaged in their tea ritual.
Suddenly, a boisterous, thunderous laugh echoed from outside the residence: “Ha ha ha, Ye Xuan, my boy, do you have the audacity to emerge and confront me?”
As this bold and arrogant laughter reverberated, the individuals inside were compelled to pause their conversation.
Subsequently, smiles began to grace their countenances.
The individual they had been anticipating had finally made their appearance.
The one empowered to make pronouncements on behalf of the Li Family!
Ye Xuan and the others emerged, casting their gazes upward, and observed a peculiar figure perched atop the opposing ancient structure.
He was a middle-aged man with a craggy visage, bearing the appearance of a raw, untamed brute.
The man, of imposing stature, was clad in a flowing robe, his attire disheveled and grimy. His lengthy hair and luxuriant beard had been so neglected that they had become an unkempt tangle, nearly obscuring his entire face.
This was undeniably an eccentric individual, attired in archaic garments!
Were such a person to be placed amidst the bustling thoroughfares of a major metropolis, they would undoubtedly face scorn from countless passersby or even prompt the intervention of urban management officials, who would likely escort them away as a vagrant or mendicant.
Far too disruptive to the city's aesthetic!
Yet, upon glimpsing this individual, Elder Li and his grandson adopted expressions of profound respect, immediately bowing and offering greetings with clasped hands, “Salutations, Master Baili Xiao!”
This person was none other than Baili Xiao of Heroic Mountain!
Despite Baili Xiao's unkempt appearance, his lineage and standing were of considerable consequence.
He held the esteemed position of Grand Elder within Heroic Mountain, subordinate only to his brother, Baili Ku, and superior to countless others within the organization. His brother, Baili Ku, was the sole individual above him in rank.
The dispatch of such a prominent figure from Heroic Mountain signified the gravity of their attention and the depth of their respect towards this particular matter.
Furthermore, it undoubtedly conveyed a measure of deference towards Ye Xuan.
Baili Xiao, positioned on the rooftop, responded impatiently to the salutations of Elder Li and his grandson, uttering, “Enough, cease the pleasantries, they are tedious to endure!”
Elder Li responded with an awkward chuckle, refraining from further discourse.
Li Xiyuan also suppressed any nascent irritation. Although this marked her initial encounter with Baili Xiao, she had long been apprised by her grandfather of this individual’s peculiar temperament, characterized by excessive frankness and an aversion to conventional societal niceties.
Despite their awareness of Baili Xiao’s disdain for such formalities, they extended their greetings, understanding that neglecting them would undoubtedly precipitate unwelcome complications.
As a result.
In the subsequent instant, Baili Xiao’s piercing gaze shifted towards Ye Xuan, his tone tinged with impatience as he inquired, “Ye Xuan, my boy, why do you neglect to greet me upon the appearance of Baili Xiao?”
Indeed, this individual exhibited a truly peculiar disposition.
Ye Xuan was taken aback, then he helplessly rubbed his nose and smiled, saying, “In the martial arts world, there's no one deserving of me greeting them first.”
Elder Li and his grandson stared at Ye Xuan in shock, surprise evident on their faces.
Weren't those words… excessively arrogant?
Baili Xiao was also momentarily stunned, before erupting into laughter. “Ha ha, you little brat, truly unsurpassed in your arrogance!”
Ye Xuan cast a glance at Baili Xiao and remarked, “You are Baili Xiao, yet you laugh twice with such arrogance. It's quite unusual.”
“Who said one can't laugh if they don't laugh? I simply wish to laugh now!”
Baili Xiao thumped his chest and declared with swagger, “Kid, I heard you defeated Zhao Yunfei of the Zhao Family using the Void Spirit Fist. Is this true?”
“What if it is true?” Ye Xuan responded with a slight smirk.
“That Zhao Yunfei had practiced the Void Spirit Fist for thirty years. Your entire life isn't even thirty years yet. If it's true, I'm eager to witness the might of your Void Spirit Fist!” Baili Xiao proclaimed.
“The might of my Void Spirit Fist depends on your attitude,” Ye Xuan chuckled. “If you intend to lose, it's unstoppable. If you wish to win, then it wouldn't be worth mentioning.”
Baili Xiao looked bewildered, scratching his head in irritation. “Ye Xuan, little boy, speak plainly! Your words are too convoluted for me to understand!”
Ye Xuan shrugged with a sense of helplessness. “To put it simply, if I want to defeat you, it’s easy. If I want you to win, that’s also easy.”
Baili Xiao’s eyes widened in anger.
Elder Li and his grandson were once again astonished.
Arrogant.
Ye Xuan, your arrogance knows no bounds!
This is Baili Xiao. In terms of pure strength, Zhao Yunfei wouldn't be able to last ten moves against Baili Xiao. While your strength may surpass his, it’s impossible to dictate the outcome of win or lose at will, isn’t it?
When true masters clash, every move is perilous. Unless there's an extreme imbalance in power, victory or defeat isn't always determined by having the advantage!
